Abstract

Provided is a fin for register that can firmly fix a mounting member to a fin body. A horizontal fin includes a plate-shaped fin body and a mounting member mounted to a downstream side edge part of the fin body. The mounting member has a curved shape to cover the downstream side edge part of the fin body. The downstream side edge part includes a first recessed part at a tip part on a front side in a longitudinal direction. The first recessed part is formed by recessing the tip part of the downstream side edge part. The downstream side edge part and the mounting member are fixed to each other by an adhesive filled in the first recessed part.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A fin for register pivotable between a pair of side walls facing with each other in a retainer of the register and changing a direction of air blown out from the register comprising: a fin body formed into a plate shape; and a mounting member mounted to a downstream side edge part that is on a downstream side of the fin body in an air blowing direction, wherein the mounting member has a curved shape so as to cover the downstream side edge part of the fin body, the downstream side edge part includes a first recessed part at a tip part on the downstream side in the air blowing direction, the first recessed part is formed by recessing the tip part of the downstream side edge part, the downstream side edge part and the mounting member are fixed to each other by an adhesive filled in the first recessed part, the downstream side edge part includes a second recessed part on an upstream side of the first recessed part in the air blowing direction, the second recessed part is formed by recessing the downstream side edge part in a thickness direction of the fin body, and a portion of the adhesive overflowed from the first recessed part is in the second recessed part, wherein the second recessed part directly abuts and is encompassed by the mounting member, and wherein all the adhesive is contained between the connection of the mounting member and the second recessed part of the fin body. 
     
     
       2. The fin for register according to  claim 1 , wherein the fin body is formed into a plate shape long in one direction,
 wherein the downstream side edge part includes a pair of third recessed parts on both sides of the first recessed part in a longitudinal direction of the fin body, 
 wherein each of the pair of third recessed parts is formed by recessing the downstream side edge part and has a groove with a width in the longitudinal direction narrower than the first recessed part. 
 
     
     
       3. The fin for register according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first recessed part is formed by gradually expanding a width in a thickness direction of the fin body from a bottom part toward an opening. 
 
     
     
       4. The fin for register according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the fin body includes a pair of rotation shafts with each one of the pair of rotation shafts being on opposite end surfaces in a longitudinal direction of the fin body, 
 the plate shape of the fin body is longest in the longitudinal direction, 
 each of the pair of rotation shafts protrudes toward an outside in the longitudinal direction from the opposite end surfaces and is supported by the retainer, 
 the mounting member extends along the longitudinal direction of the fin body and includes a pair of thin wall parts, one of each formed on opposite ends of the fin body in the longitudinal direction, and 
 each of the pair of thin wall parts is formed at a position corresponding to respective ones of the pair of rotation shafts and is thinner than any single part or combination of parts of the mounting member. 
 
     
     
       5. A fin for register pivotably provided between a pair of side walls facing with each other in a retainer of the register and changing a direction of a wind blown out from the register comprising: a fin body formed into a plate shape; and a mounting member mounted to a downstream side edge part of the fin body in an air blowing direction as a wind flowing direction, wherein the mounting member is formed into a curved shape so as to cover the downstream side edge part of the fin body, the downstream side edge part includes a first recessed part at a tip part on the downstream side in the air blowing direction, the first recessed part is formed by recessing the tip part of the downstream side edge part, the downstream side edge part and the mounting member are fixed to each other by an adhesive filled in the first recessed part, the mounting member includes a plurality of ribs, the plurality of ribs has a semicircular shape to connect a curved inner circumferential surface of the mounting member, the downstream side edge part includes a plurality of rib insertion parts to be inserted by each of the plurality of ribs, and the plurality of rib insertion parts includes a first rib insertion part, and a space between the first rib insertion part and the rib is narrower than spaces between the rib insertion parts other than the first rib insertion part and the ribs.
